I posted a Happy Mothers Day status on fb, you know, like practically everyone does. I also added “Thank you for helping me achieve my dreams, and thank you for your support as we prepare for our move, wedding, and buying our first house."
My mom cried when I actually told her that on the phone.
So FI calls him mom. Happy Mother's Day! She didn't elaborate a lot, seemed to give one word answers.
She hung up on him after telling him how disappointed in him she was.
He sighed as he put the phone down. He said, my mom is being herself again.. She's really upset about something. That's what I get for trying to call and wish her a happy mothers day.
Then he gets a page long text. She says basically, "I am really upset with you. What a terrible mothers day. I keep living in a fairy tale having expectations of my son. You don't tell me anything. You never answer my questions. It's always I don't know. I don't buy that sugargirl doesn't tell you anything. I feel terrible telling other people that I don't know. I feel like they think I'm lying to them when I say I don't know."
If you are confused, so were we. So he calls her back. And she's just yelling and yelling.. FI can't even get "what are you talking about" out.
She elaborates and says What is going on with this house? FI says, "Well the lot opened up yesterday to put down a deposit on if we want to build.. If that's what you're asking." She jumps into a rage about my parents buying a house for us. He again tries to say "what are you talking about?" many times.
Apparently my fb set her off. FI defended me and said "What part of her status says her parents are buying us a house?! Nothing. Her mom went and talked to the builder about time frame and what she needs to do in order to build a house on that lot. That's all. She's helping her since she can't be there to do that."
Next I hear yelling and screaming about not telling her any information and about how aunt so and so, who she talks to frequently, thinks that my mom is controlling us and not letting us make our own decisions.
What??
I am so disappointed in how she treats her son and me. I cannot believe she turned his happy mothers day phone call into a yelling angry fit. Poor Fi. And how dare she say those assumptions about my parents buying us a house.
I am grumpy about that today
thanks for letting me rant!
